Larry Fink on the Elections

Larry Fink on the Elections Controversial photographer Larry Fink has studied the election campaign in the barren industrial state of Pennsylvania for Vanity Fair. Following its people with his lens, he found a strong affiliation towards Obama.
Larry Fink lives on a farm in Pennsylvania. He blows into his harmonica, "music is good for productivity," he says in a soft drawl. Once a thriving state, Pennsylvania was shattered by the decline of US industry. We walk past abandoned buildings to the only coffee shop. Fink's photos emerge, black shiny shoes and rusting signs. Mary has lived here for 81 years, "I come from the depression era. I know what it's like to not have food on the table." She believes only Obama can save America from financial turmoil. Fink's always admired Obama and his black and white photo of the Senator pointing in the crowd is already iconic. "When I travelled with Obama there was nothing that seemed to gurgle with a sense of internal corruption - clean to the core." A beautiful film where politics and art unite.
